Water Pump Problems of Chrysler Concorde

The contact owns a 2001 Chrysler concord. While driving approximately 45mph, the vehicle would hesitate intermittently. Without warning, the vehicle lost power. As a result, the water pump failed and water caused water to leak into the engine compartment. There were no warning indicator lights present. The dealer stated that because the failure was internal, the water was leaking into the oil pan causing the water and other substances to be pumped into the engine. The contact had to shut the engine off to avoid a crash. The brakes have also failed due to the water pump failing. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was a 84,000 and the current mileage is 84,800.

2000 Chrysler Concorde, 2. 7 liter engine had a engine failure (water pump, causing jump time, causing blown engine) within seconds causing total loss of power brakes,power steering at 70 mph on I-94 at north river road. I was lucky to maintain control of vehicle. I have since discovered the 2. 7 liter engine has had many similar problems due to poor design that causes a buildup of sludge in engine.

The contact stated the engine died while pulling from a parking lot. She was unable to restart the vehicle. It was towed to a dealership service department. The water pump failed, and the timing chain broke. The problem occurred because of a sludge build up in the engine. The service dealer replaced the timing chain, the retention for the timing chain, water pump, and other parts in the area. The engine was also cleaned thoroughly. The check engine light came on previously. However, the dealership was unable to diagnose any problems at that time. Updated 01/04/06.
